Messages - Do you avoid giving an "Error" message for validation purposes?
Last updated by RebeccaLiu over 11 years ago.See historyIf you do a search and no matches are found, display a message indicating zero results were returned rather than an error message.
However, a user thinks that either:
- They have done something wrong (i.e. they are incompetent) OR
- The software is broken (i.e. your application is incompetent)
Forcing the user into this opinion is a good way to make them avoid using your software in the future.
Instead, use the term "Information" when validation is required.
